Description
NASA EPSCoR Rapid Response Research (R3) is a collaboration between NASA EPSCoR and NASA Mission Directorate programs. It provides a streamlined way for EPSCoR researchers to work with NASA on scientific and technical issues affecting the agency’s programs and missions. In Wyoming, the Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium administers the opportunity for University of Wyoming faculty.
The program supports one-year projects addressing designated research topics in the solicitation. Funded researchers work closely with NASA researchers to advance agency priorities while strengthening their jurisdiction’s research infrastructure and aerospace research capabilities. NASA EPSCoR also seeks to build partnerships among academic institutions, NASA, and industry, and develop research programs capable of attracting sustained support beyond EPSCoR.
